If Immediate is false, the mouse pointer doesn't change to the value of the DragCursor property and dragging doesn't begin until the user moves the mouse pointer the number of pixels specified by the Threshold parameter. If the caller passes a Threshold value less than 0 (such as the default value for this parameter), BeginDrag uses the DragThreshold property of the global Mouse variable. Setting Immediate to false allows the control to accept mouse clicks without beginning a drag-and-drop or drag-and-dock operation.
